    Re: SYC Ranking - Different races should have different ratings
    Board » General Discussion
    I think the current ranking is as fair as it can be, as it was set up to have one ocean race going at the same time as a midweek/weekend race.But this doesn't seem to have been happening for a while.
    The weekend races don't finish in the weekend. This is part of the reason I havn't rejoined and don.t race much,maybe others too.
    Although it is great to have the buddy up races I don't think they have a place in SOL if they start at stupid times, like the current RNZ race which started at 01.00 midweek, hence i assume that is the reason that there were only about 80 boats to start on time, it could have easily been moved to the weekend.
    We have to remember that some of us have jobs to go to, unlike the sailors racing in the real races.

    Check in the morning. It will probably go into archives overnight as it only closed today.

    Glynn,
    Your points are always calculated, but when you are a non member you dont see them or go on the ladder.
    So the points you have acumulated will show up when you join.

    Hi Steve,
    Yes it is possible...What you need to do is..ie:the next race starts at 12.00 midday UTC,Set your delay for 8 hours at 03.30 UTC( dont forget to set your course and tick the delay box).Your command will go off at 11.30 but your boat wont be released until 12.00.

    Hi Guys,
    I am sure the ranking points are always there, they just arn't visable to non members.So when you rejoin your ranking will be about the same.
    Yes an reminder is sent for membership renewals.

    Hi Mage,
    The Christams race closed on 28th December at 23.00 UTC as was stated on the race discription on the home page.
    Races have a closing date, so the server can be freed up, so new races can start!!

    Colours
    Board » General Discussion
    Is it possible to change some of the colours of things on the course.
    Our own boat is Magenta,lead boat is simular. Sometimes when the lead boat jumps ahead you think it is your own boat.Marks, arrows, names and rumbline are red. In the shorter races when the fleet is tightly bunched it gets a bit hard to define what is what.Or maybe even put the arrows away from the mark, say one before and one after and the names further away from the marks. Also is it possible to make the BS and VMG numbers in the steering tab a wee bit bigger.
    Thanks

    Re: rounded and disrounded
    Board » General Discussion
    Removing the waypoint at Flannan and allowing the option to go east of the isle of Lewis might open up a new debate as you wont be going "Around Britain and Ireland"
    As Cajun said in the IRL race you have to keep all islands to starboard thus making sure the boats go round Britain and ireland as the rece name suggests.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

Valparaiso to San Francisco 2025

Get ready for an exhilarating new challenge as we set sail on the fourth leg of the 2025 Ocean Championship Series! Following in the 19th century footsteps of Isabel Allende's heroine, Eliza Sommers, 'Daughter of Fortune', this all-new route takes us across the vast eastern Pacific, from Valparaíso, Chile, to San Francisco, California - a 3500nm journey of endurance, strategy, and pure sailing adrenaline. This leg will be raced aboard the powerful Rapido 60, pushing sailors to their limits as they navigate the open ocean. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Pacific? Join us and put your skills to the ultimate test!

Red Eye - Round White Island 2025

We remain in New Zealand for our second “Red Eye Special” and another IRL Kiwi classic - the Round White Island! IRL still “currently on hiatus” following the island’s eruption of 2019, this race was last raced on SOL in 2020. It’s about 300nm there - out the Hauraki Gulf and south down to the island in the Bay of Plenty - and back to Auckland. This year we’ll be racing in our ever-popular take on the TP-52. Hau tika!

Moheli PYOC 2025


For our first sprint of Q2, we will re-visit the African archipelago nation, L’Union des Comoros, and its most southern island, Moheli, in the Mozambique Channel. Created by MustangMark in 2014 this is a “Pick Your Own Course” round the island, approximately 20nm in our First 27. Expect winds to be light and variable; we are in the Tropics.

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
